Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was compared with cell culture assay performed with use of HT29/C1 (human colonic epithelial) cells for identifying strains of enterotoxin-producing Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolated from extraintestinal specimens. A total of 188 unselected strains obtained over 2 years at a central clinical laboratory in Tokyo were tested. Overall, 35 strains (18.6%) were positive by cell culture and PCR assay, 152 strains were negative by both assays, and 1 strain was…

Expression of Bacteroides fragilis virulence markers in vitro.
TLDR
Different adhesion molecules were detected in agglutination assays with human erythrocytes and tests for auto-agglutination and adherence to human colon carcinoma cells (HT29) and there was no correlation between these properties, indicating that independent molecules are involved.
Vaginal carriage of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in pregnant women
TLDR
Interestingly, potential clonal relatedness could be demonstrated among several of the nonenterotoxigenic B. fragilis strains, and this indicates the need for additional research in the field of ETBF transmission and molecular epidemiology.
Characterization of the Bacteroides fragilis pathogenicity island in human blood culture isolates.
Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of enterotoxigenic extra-intestinal Bacteroides fragilis among 13-year collection of isolates in Kuwait
TLDR
The proportion of clinical isolates from extra-intestinal sources that are toxin producers and characterize the genes mediating toxin production were investigated and metronidazole was the most active agent against all isolates.
Quantitative Detection of Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis Subtypes Isolated from Children with and without Diarrhea
TLDR
A rapid real-time PCR (RT-PCR) approach was developed to detect the bft gene subtypes in Bacteroides fragilis isolated from fecal samples and did not show any statistically significant differences between the groups of children.
The distribution of the bft alleles among enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis strains from stool specimens and extraintestinal sites.
Evaluation of the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis and the distribution bft gene subtypes in patients with diarrhea.
Artículo original Bacteroides fragilis enterotoxigénico aislado de pacientes con vaginitis
TLDR
Enterotoxigenic B. fragilis in the cervical-vaginal mucous in the patients with vaginitis raises the necessity to define its role in the etiology of this clinical entity.
Identification of a Third Metalloprotease Toxin Gene in Extraintestinal Isolates of Bacteroides fragilis
TLDR
Korea-BFT is a new isoform of B. fragilis toxin that cleaves E-cadherin, the zonula adherens protein and is more related to BFT-2 than to B FT-1.

Isolation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from extraintestinal sites by cell culture assay.
TLDR
The cell culture assay developed by these investigators allows us to study enterotoxigenic B. fragilis with much less difficulty than is encountered with the ligated intestinal loop assay and is used to survey the prevalence of enterotoxin-producing strains of B. Fragilis among isolates from extraintestinal sites.
Isolation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis from Bangladeshi children with diarrhea: a controlled study
TLDR
It is suggested that enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis may also be an important diarrheal pathogen in other geographic areas and in the developing world where diarrhea is highly endemic.
Prevalence of toxigenic and invasive strains of Escherichia coli in a hospital population.
TLDR
It is concluded that production of toxin and invasiveness were not important in the pathogenesis of most urinary tract infections or bacteremia caused by E. coli, and that gastrointestinal colonization with such organisms was uncommon.
Prevalence of toxigenic and invasive strains of Escherichia coli in a hospital population.
TLDR
It is concluded that production of toxin and invasiveness were not important in the pathogenesis of most urinary tract infections or bacteremia caused by E. coli, and that gastrointestinal colonization with such organisms was uncommon.
Enterotoxin production & mouse virulence of clinical isolates of Salmonella typhimurium strains.
TLDR
Some strains of S. typhimurium are more virulent and produce more enterotoxins, which invade the intestinal mucosa potently and lead to extra-intestinal manifestations and the low virulent strains are confined to the intestine and cause mild/moderate gastroenteritis.
The enterotoxin of Bacteroides fragilis is a metalloprotease
TLDR
The metalloprotease activity of the enterotoxin suggests a possible mechanism for enterotoxicity and may have additional implications in the study of disease caused by B. fragilis.
Effect of subinhibitory doses of clindamycin on the virulence of Bacteroides fragilis: role of lipopolysaccharide.
TLDR
Dose-response experiments with purified CP as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from B. fragilis ATCC strain 23745 mixed with sterile cecal contents as adjuvant revealed that both surface components of the organism were capable of causing abscesses in the mouse model.
Incidence and clinical significance of anaerobic bacteremia in a community hospital.
TLDR
Data was reviewed on episodes of anaerobic bacteremia that have occurred in the authors' 350-bed community hospital, and positive culture results often resulted in a change in antimicrobial therapy.
Human colonic epithelial cells, HT29/C1, treated with crude Bacteroides fragilis enterotoxin dramatically alter their morphology
TLDR
Using the cloned human colonic-epithelial-cell line HT29/C1, an in vitro assay is developed that is 89% sensitive and 100% specific in detecting enterotoxigenic B. fragilis strains as defined by the lamb ligated-intestinal-loop assay.
Bacteroides fragilis: a possible cause of acute diarrheal disease in newborn lambs
TLDR
Clinical signs of disease were similar to those observed in the naturally occurring disease and pure cultures of B. fragilis from the feces of diarrheic lambs caused fluid accumulation in five of five lamb intestinal loop tests and in three of three calf intestine loop tests.
